For the first\ntask, we investigated a variety of loss functions and show that\nperception-driven loss significantly improves dehazing performance. In the\nsecond task, we provide multiple solutions including using advanced modules in\nthe dehazing-detection cascade and domain-adaptive object detectors. In both\ntasks, our proposed solutions significantly improve performance.
